I also added the field mod armor for the gunsight periscopeand hinged the scissorsperiscope hatch.

wow, that looks great.....

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

very nice....

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

It's been a while since I updated this build, but I have been working on it.
I'm almost finished with the roof and engine deck...a couple of welds and mounting the cleaning rod/antenna tube will finish that up.
Here are pics of what I've finished to this point:

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

I didn't like the aluminum sticker for the front of the hull, so it was replaced with an aluminum plate.
It also acts as stop for the front of the upper hull, flame cuts and welds added.

SICK!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

Nice work.

I used the sticker as I felt it was rock solid. :D

Nice. great work. I'm working on the same kit, lot's stuff to do(weld lines) May I aks what you used to detail the marked parts? any close up's pleez :-)

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

The crew hatch stops are made from brass with rubber bumpers.
I used a leather punch and a large rubber washer to make the bumperswith 1mm bolts in the center.

The armor guard for the roof vent fan is the stock part with some styrene strips and Mr. Surfacer 500 for texture.

Looks Good !!!!! I want to do one cause I love me some tank destroyers!!! I am busy with two StuG's right now. [8D]

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

Thanks guys!
Hopefully I'll finish it this year.

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

Thanks for sharing. :-) I need to finish off the roof before going to the engine deck. Any camo in mind yet ?

Oh, and those lifting hooks on the engine deck, wich kit do they come in ? I have the roof/engine deck detail set wich contains those small wire holders/hooks around the vents.

do you have any video clips/pic's of that elmod JP you have ?

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

The camo pattern I have in mind is from the 654th, 3 color.
The lifting hooks are from RCTank.de, not in a kit they are sold individually:

Here are a few pics of my ElMod JP:

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

You happy with the elmod ? I have a tiger wich need some elecktroniks, and a su76i kit later on witch needs the same.

Thanks for the link, Domeniq is a good friendly tanker :-)

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

I'm very happy with the ElMod, you can fine tune almost every level of the tanks performance.

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

I Like that color scheme!!!

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

Well, Jimmy, I've sat here and watched this build for rather a few months now, and kept my phat mouth shut. However, now's the time to speak. Your work is nothing short of brilliant. Excellent attention to detail, right down to the door stops. It is obvious you are doing your research and doing it well. I am quite impressed with this build. And you are giving me ideas. Grin. Winter is coming, ya know!

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

Thank you Bob, greatly appreciated.
Now what is the project you're brewing?

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

Finished a couple of things yesterday.
Sealed in the rear stowage boxes ( had hollow backs ) and the original switch hole under the right stowage box.
Fabricated the rear reflector and finished the bracket to mount the cleaning rod tube on the back deck.</p>

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

Jim, this thing is really coming together. Very nice work on all the details. </p>

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.
 

man , nice pe work on that stowage box, much better than I managed to solder together . This is going to a great TD.

RE: Finally started my Jagdpanther.

Between you and Joe I feel like an un artistic untalented wannabee:D<br type="_moz"/>
